I don't know if it's because I'm an Aries but it looks a bit like a ram with big horns facing to the left.

I'm a Capricorn, but I thought it looked like a horse facing the opposite way!

I'm a Sagittarius and I think it looks like a rock. :o
We had two fantastic walks of late, one across the top of the Orme just before Sunset and one around it. Keep your eyes peeled for Dolphins and Seals they are here in abundance

I'm a Virgo and find the 'fissure' very interesting.

Perhaps it was a fault in the formation of the limestone deposits all the way back in the Carboniferous period or perhaps it was caused by movement during the outcropping of the sea bed which forms the present day Great Orme - who knows?.

I am a Virgo also.........however I am on the cusp with Libra (as you are all aware I am special....)  :D  It actually means that I write loads of lists and then either lose or forget them  :roll:

It wouldn't surprise me if the rock had been tooled in one way or another, in Neolithic times they used stones like the one in the photo as beacons or land marks, does it look out to sea?  On the other hand Ludo could be right and it could be a natural formation which dates back to the Caarbon.............that thing Ludo wrote  $good$

Interesting theory about the Neolithic cave person (trying to be PC about prehistory ;) ). Is anyone using the forum time machine at the moment?

No it is sideways on to the sea.

I'm a Taurus and wonder whether that's same rock that from a distance I always think looks like a goat - but perhaps if I try hard enough I can make a bull out of it. 

The big boulders dotted about are likely to have been moved around by glaciers during the Ice Age.  (I suppose it's fairly obvious, really, that the glaciers were during the Ice Age!)

It is quite obviously the head of a duck, facing to the right..... (or Brian the Dog from Family Guy on TV)
